Escaping the fire
Thomas Loucks
Subject:
Harris's Hawk, wildfire
Location:
Colorado
Description:
Creative: I took an image of a Harris's hawk landing at a Hawkquest event, worked it up with Viveza for color, removed the jesses AND removed the shadow of the jesses from the tailfeathers. Then I took a sky from a Summit County 2020 wildfire which generated its own weather and cumulus clouds, trimmed it to size, boosted the saturation. Then I merged the two in Photoshop and vignetted the final. The hardest part was removing the jesses from both the bird and the shadows of same.
